    <td class="Texte"> <h1>Options</h1>
      <p>Options can be used in the <a href="../commandline/index.htm">command 
        line</a> or checked on the synchronization form in <a href="../interactive/index.htm">interactive 
        mode</a>. </p>
      <h2>Copy options</h2>
      <ul>
        <li><strong>/s</strong>: Copy subfolders.</li>
        <li><strong>/e</strong>: Copie empty subfolders. Meaningless without /s.</li>
        <li><strong>/r</strong>: Overwrite read-only files.</li>
        <li><strong>/d</strong>: Preserve newer files. Only older files will be 
          overwritten. If size is different, files will be copied anyway. </li>
        <li><strong>/Samba</strong>: with /d, considers file dates are identical if they differ by less than a second. Allows using different file systems for source and targets, especially Samba NASes. </li>
        <li><strong>/u</strong>: Only copy existing files. No new file will be 
          created.</li>
        <li><strong>/a</strong>&nbsp;: Copy ACLs, including access rights (DACLs), audit parameters and ownership. Rights on files are changed only if the file is changed before.</li>
        <li><strong>/k</strong>&nbsp;: Copy file and folder attributes (read only,...). File attributes are changed only if the file is changed before. </li>
        <li><strong>/x=&quot;List&quot;</strong>: excludes files and folders
                according  to the patterns.
          <ul>
            <li>Wildcards<strong> *</strong> and <strong>?</strong> can
                  be used. Separate the patterns by&nbsp;<strong>;</strong>.
                  Examples: </li>
          </ul>
        </li>
        <ul>
          <ul>
            <li>/x=&quot;*\Local Settings\*&quot;&nbsp;: excludes the <em>Local
                   settings</em> folder.</li>
            <li>/x=&quot;*\temp\*;*.bak;*\~*&quot;&nbsp;: excludes the <em>Temp</em> folder,
                    files whose extension is <em>.bak</em>, and files and folders
                 starting with <em>~</em>.</li>
          </ul>
          <li>For advanced users, other characters are available:
            <ul>
              <li><strong>#</strong> is for a digit (more restrictive than <strong>?</strong>)</li>
              <li><strong>[</strong>A<strong>-</strong>E<strong>]</strong> is
                for all characters between A and E, whatever the case,
                eventually including accented characters depending on the system
                locale (accented e are excluded here because they come after
                E in the sort order)</li>
              <li><strong>[!</strong>B<strong>-</strong>D<strong>]</strong> is
                for all characters except those between B and D.</li>
              <li>Example: The file <em>C:\aM5b.exe</em> will not be copied
                with option /x=&quot;C:\a[L-P]#[!c-e]*&quot;</li>
            </ul>
          </li>
        </ul>
      </ul>
      <h2>Behavior options</h2>
      <ul>
        <li><strong>/n</strong>: Do not prompt before creating new files.</li>
        <li><strong>/y</strong>: Do not prompt before deleting files</li>
        <li><strong>/g</strong>: Do not prompt stop processing when errors occur <strong></strong></li>
        <li><strong>/w</strong>: Prompt before closing the window at the end
          of  the synchronization (no effect in console
          mode)</li>
        <li><strong>/q</strong>: Do not evaluate the folder size before
          copying it. Faster at the cost of the progress bar (no effect in console
          mode)</li>
        <li><strong>/l =&quot;File Name&quot;</strong>: Log activity in the chosen
          file  </li>
      </ul>
      <p>&nbsp;</p>
      <h2>Command line only</h2>
      <ul>
        <li><strong>/go</strong> launches the synchronization in console mode.
          Messages are displayed in the active command console. If /n and /y
          options are used, no user intervention is needed. /g and /q are forced, /w is ignored. </li>
      </ul>
      <p>&nbsp;</p>
      <h1>Example:</h1>
      <ul>
        <li><strong>Synchro &quot;C:\Tools\My Docs.syn&quot; /go</strong> runs 
          the synchronization saved in &quot;My Docs.syn&quot;. It starts automatically.</li>
        <li><strong>Synchro /Source=C:\Source Target=C:\Target /s /e /n /z /l=C:\Synchro.log 
          </strong> synchronizes C:\Target on C:\Source. It copies subfolders, 
          even empty, does not prompt before creating files (but prompts before 
          deleting), and deletes extra files in the target. Everything is recorder 
          in the C:\Synchro.log file.</li>
      </ul>
